here’s some benefits coming up. kind of in chronological order but I put Banana Bag & Bodice first because I’m on the Benefit Committee and I really, really , really, want to encourage you to go to their benefit. First off because BEOWULF rocks so friggin’ hard that you will want to see it four or five times.  Secondly because Jason & Jessica are totally friggin’ awesome and they don’t suck up to celebutards. And third…. um… because I think its going to be extremely fun.  BB&B, like Radiohole, bring the avant-garde theater with a full serving of indie-punk goodness and without the heaping piles of overweening pretention. Go!
